News Coverage
EHWR has seen much coverage online as well as coverage in USA Today, Forbes Magazine and the LA Times. While most have been unable to provide definitively new information, they have largely served to spread notice of the viral marketing campaign to the Internet community at large, and were the ones to first point out the viral marketing campaign to prospective players. All of the online coverage has been related to a supposed link between EHWR and J. J. Abrams' "Cloverfield".
- Cinematical lists EHWR as viral marketing for the untitled J.J. Abrams movie, and suggests that Ethan Haas will be a main character in said movie.
- Cinemablend and RopeOfSilicon.com similarly report a connection between the two.
- Ain't It Cool News, however, reports that there is no such connection, from an email from J.J. Abrams.
- iF Magazine, IGN, Film.com, Chud.com, and New York Entertainment have all reported on EHWR and Cloverfield together.
- PopMatters, interviewed Alpha Omega creators David Carter & Earl Fischl and Mind Storm Labs President Tom McLaughlin in June 2008. They discussed the creation of Alpha Omega RPG and their viral marketing campaign, Ethan Haas Was Right. The full interview can be found at PopMatters

Famous quotes containing the word news:
“If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events that make the news transpire,—thinner than the paper on which it is printed,—then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
